Region 



(BLM)/state land (DSL), and 20% private land. HD 621 is comprised of 32% CMR, 42% 

 BLM/DSL, and 26% private. In 1993, over-the-counter (multi-regional) antlerless mule deer 

 B license holders harvested 5,833 deer in Regions 6 & 7. Only 6% (346) of the deer 

 harvested came from public land within HDs 621, 622, 623, 631, and 632. A similar 

 relationship existed in Region 7 where only 3% of the deer taken by these license holders 

 came from public land in HD 700, which includes the CMR National Wildlife Refuge. 



WHITE-TAILED DEER 



Sixty percent of the white-tailed deer harvest in Montana occurs on private land (Figure 12). 

 Regionally this percentage ranges from a high of 88% in Region 5 to a low of 24% in 

 Region 1. 



A higher percentage of white-tailed deer are reported killed on private land than mule deer 

 for all license holders (Figures 10, 11, 13, and 14). This is also true for all regions east of 

 the divide (3-8). Marked differences between residents and nonresidents are not apparent. 

 Eighty-five percent of the antlerless whitetail harvest by both resident and nonresident over- 

 the-counter (Multi-regional) antlerless whitetail B license holders is taken on private land 

 (Figure 14).
